Rocky Start Resto..
We would like put out a "shout out" for the members of FABO that helped us with one darn hard trans bolt/removal and information/help on our successful /6 removal today. Thank-you. When the manuals pi** ya off ...we are not sure if Haynes had ever looked at a dart/duster before he or a ghost writer took up a pen..due to lack of information, we know where to find actual helpful/useful information..
A few pics: I appologize in advance for the quality
The engine ready to come out:
The casters worked really well..we were able to spin the car and partialy back it out of the garage:
How do you unclip the wiring harness ?
We have the jack in place..we couldn't figure out how to take the last two bolts off the flex plate with the engine in so we left the converter on w/o any problems..and it just came out slick as anything:
Even though we thought we had drained all the coolent out, it started coming out in gushes when calum was jacking so he grabbed a rubber glove and tied it on to the port and it worked really well:
Next is the front suspension and then I will attach the wooden routerissie to the front bumper. Yes, that is tar on the firewall...soft tar.
More pics to come with the removal of the front suspention and the flipping/cleaning.
Grassy.
